All Eadmaer ever knew was a life of slavery, little did he know he had the makings of lordship in him.
Eadmaer has never known anything other than service to the trolls. He fetches them food, tends to the beautiful four legged creatures they call “chattel” and tries to keep his people from caving in under their rule. He sees no other way for survival other than to keep the peace with his temperamental and often cruel masters.
There is little the trolls fear…except strange creatures from the north. One day while tending to a wounded troll Eadmaer sees one of these creatures, except far from being a beast out of a nightmare it looks strangely familiar. Eadmaer’s curiosity is piqued and he will not rest until he discovers the mystery of the creatures from the north and with that, perhaps the secret to defeating the trolls and freeing his people.
But the trolls will not relinquish the secrets of the north so easily. And soon after the encounter they’re moving Eadmaer far away from his village and his people, and the potential mystery that could save them. Will Eadmaer be able to find out what secrets lie in the north? How to win his people’s freedom? And maybe even how to defeat the trolls in combat? Or will he end up lost while his people are crushed without him?
